Abstract
The scope of the present paper is the study of structures involving bo undaries and interfaces of fractal geometry. The geometry is analysed here by a sequence of classical geometry problems formulated by means of C-0 and C-1-interpolating functions. These approximations of the fr actal geometry are combined with the FEM and the BEM in order to calcu late the stress and displacement fields in fractal structures.
